Not sure in which FIS thread it fits best, but I had completely overlooked the death of Gian Franco Kasper earlier this week, 20+ year FIS president

Rodeš injured and out for 2-3 months. He will probably start at the Olympics, but will not be very competitive.

Extremely unusual result sheets this year from Argentina and Chile, with only the home skiers taking part.

In the Olympic season, it's usually a melting pot for all those seeking to become pop-up Olympians for their exotic nations, but I guess this kind of participation will be at record low this time round.

Wendy Holdener broke both arms during last training. Apparently surgery is not necessary but She will miss at least Solden for sure

Wow, that post ended a lot less bad than I expected it when reading the first words  

 

Good thing Solden is weeks before the season 'really' kicks off, plenty of time to recover...hopefully she'll be fit on time to enter the season full-force at least before February!
